| The colder it gets the less anybody wants to work for their supper. In this way, I am a lot like a musky. Stuff I would pass over with hair on it in the fridge when it's nice out, is stuff I would take a really hard look at when it's freezing cold outside, maybe not even want to get out from under the blanket and instead reach down into the cracks behind the couch cushions to see if there is an edible bit left on an almost rock of a chicken bone. When it's really, really, really close to ice-up (like 33 degree water) guys on my lake will even kill our suckers cuz the fresh-dead offering is easier for a musky to grab than one that is trying to swim away. And, like they always say at the old home, with a question like this, "Depends!" |

| I have. And it is crazy. But as posted earlier, bigger slower topwaters are what have worked for me. Jackpot for me. |

Location: Victoria,MN | WTD's work best for me. Many times when we have had them going after prop baits but not taking them a wtd top water will do the trick. |

Location: Otsego, MN | I use them shallow over what green weeds are left. I have found them to be great on flat calm days when you can see baitfish breaking the surface off steep breaks as well. I've had fish follow bulldawgs and everything else off these breaks, but then just crush a weagle slowly thrashing on the surface. |

| Ten inch black weagle all the way. I use it anytime. Calm or windy. Love it. Have had a lot of fish miss it lately though But I think I've been going to fast lol. Remember to slow it down. |
